Mobile communication terminal of slide type

Abstract

The present invention provides a slide type mobile communication terminal, which has a main body and a cover assembled with an upper surface of the main body, so that the cover longitudinally slides on the main body. The terminal applies an opening force to the cover when the cover slides on the main body to at least a predetermined opened position, thus completely opening the cover and applies a closing force to the cover when the cover slides on the main body to at least a predetermined closed position, thus completely closing the cover. Therefore, the terminal prevents an incorrect operation from being caused by an undesired movement of the cover during the cover opening or closing process. Furthermore, even when the cover is not opened or closed by a user to a completely opened or closed position, the cover is automatically opened or closed to the desired position.
